1 week until I leave for GTMO!

I spent a lot of time today preparing the Briefing Book. It is definitely a lot of work, but I think the final product will be very beneficial to me and future IU Affiliates. I read over the Official MC Documents in order to have a better familiarization of the law. Finally, I sent Prof. Edwards an updated Pre-Mission Draft List, which contained additional information on the 9/11 defendants.

“While [at Guantanamo Bay] I was given a copy of the Guantanamo Bay Fair Trial Manual for U.S. Military Commissions. I read it cover to cover. This is simply required reading for anyone who goes [to Guantanamo Bay] to observe. Thank you for the enormous effort it must have taken to produce it.
